Chapter 167 (continued)
Li Yang is not only Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Nature Department.
They are the Heavenly Fortune Bearer of Huaxia!
Li Yaowan was the first to calm down from her excitement. Although she also wanted to save the survivors of the Nature Department and revitalize the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, the most important thing for her was Li Yang's safety.
This Thousand-Person Feast is fraught with danger.
If Li Yang is only participating as the Bone Peach Mother Tree, then it's really nothing; she can just go through the motions.
But what Li Yang wanted to do was save people, save five hundred people!
In all the Thousand-Person Feast held, there has never been a precedent of food being rescued.
This is why the organizers of the Thousand-Person Feast dared to announce the theme.
They are not afraid of being rescued; in fact, they may even deliberately lay out bait to lure people in!
Li Yaowan quickly said, "This is very likely a trap! It's designed to lure the Huaxia Star Wielders into it!"
Marquis of Wind Pavilion naturally thought of these things as well, but she was more concerned about the overall situation and was not as preoccupied with Li Yang's safety as Li Yaowan.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion said, "If the food is from the Nature Department Star Wielders, then the organizers are likely from the Upper Three Realms, and may even be related to Divine Exalt Daowu."
These people were all arrested while on their way to support the Greedy Wolf Transit Point.
The reason why Divine Exalt Daowu let them go was because their cultivation level was too low and they were not worth the trouble.
Instead of devouring it yourself, it's better to take it back and nurture it, or bestow it upon future generations.
In retrospect, it is clearly the latter.
The organizers of this Thousand Flowers Feast are most likely descendants or students of Divine Exalt Daowu.
Li Yaowan: "Yes! The organizer is very likely one of Divine Exalt Daowu's people; it's even more likely a trap!"
Marquis of Wind Pavilion replied, "The Upper Three Realms know better than anyone the current situation of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace. In their eyes, we wouldn't dare to go to the Thousand-Person Feast to rescue people."
Li Yaowan understood Marquis of Wind Pavilion's meaning perfectly well; she wanted Li Yang to risk her life to save someone.
Li Yaowan panicked. "Even if it's not a trap, so what? Saving 'food' at Thousand-Person Feast? That's a complete fantasy!"
Based on the information they currently have, the organizers of this Thousand-Person Feast people must be from the Upper Three Realms.
The Upper Three Realms were well aware of the situation of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, and in their understanding, the people of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace dared not go to rescue people.
If you really want to create a trap, it should at least appear safe on the surface.
Given the current situation, even Ninth-Grade Supreme from the Huaxia Heavenly Palace would not dare to venture into the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.
However, a terrible thought arose in Li Yang's mind.
She closed her eyes briefly and whispered, "If this really is a trap, then their target is only one person..."
Li Yaowan Marquis of Wind Pavilion were startled, realizing what she meant by leaving things unsaid.
Indeed!
In the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, there really is someone who will take the bait!
That is Si Kui is currently in seclusion.
If Si Kui knew this news, she would definitely go to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain to rescue people.
Then they will be able to trap Si Kui like a turtle in a jar.
They wiped out the last Master of the Nature Department.
Li Yaowan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately said, "No! You can't go!"
Marquis of Wind Pavilion frowned and said, "This is indeed too dangerous. Let's abandon the rescue."
She hadn't initially thought about Si Kui's involvement.
They Upper Three Realms and didn't take the Huaxia Realm Domain seriously.
They believed that even if the theme of the Thousand-Person Feast was made public, no one from the Huaxia Heavenly Palace would dare to come to the rescue.
However, while anyone else might not go, Si Kui will definitely go.
The brightly lit bait was hanging there, meant to catch the only remaining large fish of the Nature Department.
Li Yang looked up at them, but said, "I must go to the Thousand-Person Feast."
Li Yaowan's heart skipped a beat.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion also fell silent.
Li Yang said, "Right now, I'm using the identity of the Bone Peach Mother Tree to get this information in advance. It won't be long before the theme of this Thousand-Person Feast spreads throughout the entire Astral Realm."
How could Li Yaowan Marquis of Wind Pavilion not have considered this?
If the news spreads throughout the Astral Realm and the Huaxia Heavenly Palace does nothing... it will only discourage countless Star Wielders of Huaxia and deter Realm Domain that originally wanted to join forces with Huaxia.
Even without mentioning these things, Li Yang still had to rescue them.
She had never seen them before, and didn't even know their names.
But they are warriors fighting to protect Huaxia!
They were brave warriors who, despite knowing their cultivation level was low and that there was a Divine Venerable from the Upper Three Realms ahead of them, still charged forward fearlessly!
Li Yang firmly stated, "If I don't save them, how can I be worthy of being Nature Department Star Wielders? If I falter and cower now, what meaning will my cultivation and advancement have in the future!"
When Li Yang said these words, her mind was unusually clear, and even the strange feeling in her chest had faded away.
She absolutely had to attend this Thousand-Person Feast.
Even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of blood, it's a journey we must take.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion glanced sideways at Li Yaowan.
Li Yaowan sighed deeply, his voice trembling slightly. "Since you're going, I'll go with you."
Li Yang: "!"
Her once calm and collected eyes were now filled with panic.
Li Yang quickly said, "No! You can't go!"
Li Yaowan: "What, you think I, an old woman, would hold you back?"
"No! No!" Li Yang, who was usually eloquent, stammered this time. She looked anxiously at the Marquis of Wind Pavilion, hoping that she could stop Li Yaowan.
Marquis of Wind Pavilion paused for a moment, then said, "Master Li, you really can't go. The invitation to this Thousand-Person Feast is very difficult to forge. If you force your way in... you'll only disrupt Li Yang's rhythm."
Li Yaowan insisted, "If someone wants to go, there's always a way to get a real invitation..."
"No! Absolutely not!" Li Yang's mind raced, and she finally managed to speak clearly. Grabbing Li Yaowan's arm, she said, "Since they set this trap for my teacher, they will definitely conduct thorough checks on the Eighth Grade Realm Star Wielders. Even with the best disguise skills, you can't possibly fool someone at a higher level!"
Li Yaowan was well aware of these things, but she insisted, "It's too dangerous for you to go by yourself, I..."
"It's not dangerous!" Li Yang said. "As long as I disguise myself properly as the Bone Peach Mother Tree, no one will be able to find out. Besides, I'm only at the Sixth Grade Realm, so there's no need for disguise. They won't expect a Sixth Grade Realm to dare to come and rescue someone."
As Li Yang spoke, her mind became clearer, and she had a general outline of her next course of action.
"Teacher Li, Marquis..." Li Yang said, "I must go alone. It's safest for me to go alone. Firstly, my invitation is genuine and can withstand scrutiny; secondly, my cultivation level is not faked; moreover, I have the unique Spatial Teleportation skill of this Labyrinth Society, so they won't suspect me."
Marquis of Wind Pavilion calmly looked at her and said, "I can give you a secret treasure. As long as you can sneak into the place where the diners are being held, you can put them all into this treasure."
Li Yang: "!"
Li Yaowan suddenly turned his head to look at the Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "You..."
Marquis of Wind Pavilion said, "Master Li, it's not that I don't care about Li Yang, but only she can have a chance of winning if she goes herself. Besides, this concerns her cultivation of the Dao Heart. If she doesn't go... do you really want her cultivation to stop here?"
Li Yaowan was speechless for a moment.
She also knew about the secret treasure that Marquis of Wind Pavilion mentioned.
Most of the spatial treasures in the Astral Realm are unable to contain living beings.
Unless it's an extremely special life form like Masterless Sword or a sword spirit...
Otherwise, most Astral Realm beings, as long as they are still alive, would be difficult to place into the spatial treasure.
Even if forced in, it will die suddenly.
However, the treasure of the Marquis of Wind Pavilion is quite special.
It is called "Spirit-Dwelling Box".
This was not something that any master weapon Master in Huaxia could create; rather, it was something that Marquis of Wind Pavilion discovered by chance at an auction in the Astral Realm and purchased at a huge cost.
It is said that the Master who created this treasure burned down dozens of small Realm Domain and even sacrificed his own life to successfully forge it.
The Spirit-Dwelling Box can accommodate 500 people and has great strategic significance.
It can not only be used to save people, but also to instantly release a force of 500 people.
However, the Spirit-Dwelling Box has a major drawback: its limited number of uses.
Feng Tinghou said to Li Yang, "It has one more use left, so I'm giving it to you."
Li Yaowan wanted to stop him, but the words stuck in his throat like a stone, and he couldn't get them out.
With this secret treasure, Li Yang's chances of saving the person have increased by at least 30%.
But Li Yang had to go alone; with her Spatial Teleportation skills, she was definitely a member of the Labyrinth Society.
Even if someone vaguely senses the Huaxia aura emanating from her, they would only assume that she has consumed too many Huaxia people.
However, others couldn't do that; even if Li Yaowan went along, he would easily be discovered.
No matter how well disguised, it cannot hide from the gaze of the Divine Venerable.
They had intended to lure Si Kui, so naturally they would intensify their investigation of those in the Eighth Grade Realm.
Concealing one's realm is more difficult than changing one's race.
Therefore, Li Yaowan absolutely cannot go. If she goes, she will not only fail to protect Li Yang, but will also become a burden to her.
Not only Li Yaowan can't go, but no one else can go either.
Li Yang had completely calmed down. With the secret treasure given to her by the Marquis of Wind Pavilion, she felt much more at ease.
Li Yang reassured Li Yaowan, "Teacher Li, don't worry! As long as I maintain my identity as the Bone Peach Mother Tree, I will never be found out. I will find a way to sneak into the place of imprisonment. With the secret treasure given by the Marquis, I can take everyone away quietly."
"What if they notice there are fewer people and start investigating?"
Li Yang: "Then investigate! I am the Bone Peach Mother Tree, and I also have spatial abilities. I'm not afraid of being investigated."
